Let's get Cheesy

Cheese is a good source of dairy, as well as a means of storing a food source for long periods of time.

To start, get yourself two buckets (2000mB) of Milk, a piece of Rennet from the stomach of ruminant animals (Cows, deer, goats, etc.), and a Cheesecloth or two.

1. Put the milk and rennet in a barrel and seal it to produce Curdled Milk.

2. Now to separate the curds from the whey, take your cheesecloth and grab some Curdled Milk. The Cheesecloth can hold half a bucket (500mB) at a time. Right click on a surface to drain the whey, leaving behind some delicious Curds.

3. Either eat the curds quickly before they decay away (great on toast) or salt them for aging. You have the choice, dry salting or salt bathing.

a. Take three Curds and craft it with six Salt to make a hard Cheesewheel.

b. Take three Curds and seal it in a barrel with Salt Water (750mB) to make a soft Cheesewheel.

4. Place your Cheesewheel in the world to start the aging process!
   It takes a considerable amount of time to age cheese, but your patience will be rewarded with a tastier and longer lasting slice of cheese. Each wheel holds 4 slices, you can cut one off by right clicking it with a knife. Once a Cheesewheel is cut however - it will stop aging!
